Dancing Ghosts Haunted Mansion Novels & Stories

“Ms. Ghost, please save me… I want to get out of here!” Elowen was so frightened that she burst into tears. Lucien did not move closer. He simply said coldly, “This estate is haunted, so I invited a priest to eliminate it.” Elowen’s eyes widened. The blood in her veins seemed to freeze, her entire body turning icy as she found herself unable to move. Panic quickly locked her mind in place. The next moment, Elowen threw caution to the wind, rushed outside, and screamed, “No! You are not allowed to hurt my friend!”

With a click, the clasp came undone, and the pendant fell to the floor. In a flash, Zoe’s eyes widened. She grabbed my collar like a madwoman. “Y-You… You didn’t switch fates? You lied to me?!” I looked at her in surprise. “What are you talking about?” Miles suddenly exclaimed, “Ow, Maisie. My neck feels itchy.” He pulled down his collar, exposing his collarbone, and clearly revealed who was actually wearing the demonic fate-swapping lock.

Dominic stepped out of the shadows, a glass of bourbon in one hand and a predatory grin on his face. "I believe I have a dance reserved," Dominic said, reaching for my hand. I looked at Silas. I expected him to step in. I expected the "Ghost in the Machine" to find a way to block him. But Silas simply stepped back, his face a mask of absolute, professional indifference. "Of course," Silas said. "The Chairperson is free to dance with her hosts." Dominic led me onto the floor. The waltz was slow and suffocating. He held me too close, his hand sliding lower than was appropriate, his breath smelling of alcohol and malice.

Either way it’s loud. I wrap my free arm around the back of his neck, resting it lightly on his shoulder as we begin to move. I don’t think either of us knows a formal dance, but we are both graceful enough that it doesn’t feel awkward. After a moment, he stretches his arm, spins me beneath it, then pulls me back close to him and dips me back. I arch into it, graceful as shadow and fire combined before he lifts me back to him and suddenly, we are even closer than we were before. Oh… he DEFINITELY knows what he’s doing… Our dance isn’t planned or rehearsed, nor is it technically waltzing step-by-step. It feels like improvised elegance rather than rigid steps learned in ballroom classes. We da

Cecily grabbed my hand and started hurrying into the restaurant. I wasn't sure if I was seeing things, but when I headed up the stairs, I thought I saw a familiar figure. However, I didn't think much of it. I figured it was a figment of my imagination as a result of dashing around too quickly. It was more important for us to find the private room Ian had booked. … Wendy covered her mouth. Her eyes pooled with tears as she felt a wave of joy. It was as if she'd finally regained something she'd lost.

Ghost’s reputation existed for a reason. I turned away from the monitors and looked back through the two-way glass overlooking the packed club. Friday nights always drew the biggest crowds. I couldn’t believe what we just found out. Then… The front doors opened again. My breath caught. Walking through the entrance… Was Elena.

But, oh well, talks with Sharon did this to her. She came closer and her brows flew up. She definitely didn't see this before. There was a locket right beside her snacks. She hastily looked around the silent house. The house suddenly wasn't seeming so silent anymore. There was something eerie about the way that the trees that she could see from her window were dancing and clapping without a definite pattern. There was something definitely wrong with the way she was suddenly feeling like a shadow lurking behind her. Returning to her senses, Geneva pursed her lips and flicked her forehead. What was she busy scaring herself for? Ghosts do not exist neither do vampires or any other form of creat

My magic hovered at my fingertips, ready to stop time at a moments— “Boo.” A scream ripped itself from me, cracking off the treetops. Damon and Ghost stepped from the shadows like two creeping grim reapers. Damon’s brows vanished into his hair, which hung over his forehead in sweat-damp waves, while Ghost grinned like a cat that got the cream. “Sorry,” he held his hands up. “I couldn’t resist.” “Fuck you.” I panted, then spun around only to find myself half a centimeter away from a distorted shadowy face. “AGH!”
